<p>No recruiter on the agency side likes working with a client that is late on payment. Or worse- no payment at all. When does that amount owed become too much? Is there ever a right time to sever the working relationship?</p>
<p>Sodexo appears to have a number in mind, as they recently made the decision to end their contract with the Detroit Public Schools. </p>
<blockquote><p>A staffing company that says Detroit Public Schools owes it more than $18 million has decided to end its contract with the district, a company spokesman said today.</p>
<p>It was not immediately clear whether any of the more than 400 Sodexo employees who clean and maintain school buildings will lose their jobs. The company will keep working in DPS until June 28.</p>
<p>School district officials have accused Sodexo of leaving schools dirty and not hiring licensed and qualified personnel. The dispute heated up in early May, <a href="http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2014305070041" title="" target="_blank">when Sodexo filed a required federal layoff notice</a> related to its operations at DPS.</p>
<p>“Sodexo was hopeful of finding a mutually beneficial framework to resolve the payment issues,” company spokesman Gregory Yost said today. But efforts to reach an agreement proved “unproductive,” he said.</p>
<p>“Sodexo will continue to work with the district to receive the payment we are owed and I can’t speculate about how that may be done,” Yost said.</p>
<p>DPS spokesman Steve Wasko said the district will continue to monitor Sodexo’s performance until the contract ends in June.</p>

Have any members of the RBC found themselves in a similar situation of this scope? I know that I for one would be interested in hearing your tale. </p>

This is either a helpful insightful tip for job seekers, or a blatant ad for Express Pros.That aside, Janis lists;</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span><strong>Myth:</strong> Staffing companies charge you to apply for a job </span></p>
<p>One of the misconceptions people have about staffing companies is that they charge people to apply for a job.</p>
<p><strong>Truth:</strong> Most staffing companies do not charge you a fee to apply. That means you don’t pay anything out of your pocket. It’s completely free! And you don’t owe them anything after you get hired either.</p>
<p><span><strong>Myth:</strong> Staffing companies only have temporary jobs</span></p>
<p>Another misconception about getting a job through a staffing company is that you’ll be stuck in a position without advancement opportunities.</p>
<p><strong>Truth:</strong> There are numerous jobs available through staffing agencies. And those jobs can potentially lead to full-time employment. Think of it this way; the skills you learn during your time as a temporary worker can help shape you to become a great candidate when the time comes for that position to be opened up as a full-time job. According to the ASA, 80% of staffing clients say staffing firms offer a good way to find people who can become full-time employees. Regardless of where you are in your job search or career, remember your actions will determine if that opportunity will get you to the next level – so stay positive!</p>
<p><span><strong>Myth:</strong> Being a temporary employee for any amount of time looks bad on a resume</span></p>
<p>Don’t be fooled by this myth. If you’re unemployed, working in a temporary position allows you to build and strengthen your resume while looking for something more long-term.</p>
<p><strong>Truth:</strong> Showing how you’ve gained and developed skills can only strengthen and build your resume. Keep in mind that many employers see staffing jobs as regular work experience.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So it got me thinking......what would you add to this list? I'm curious what other recruiters and members of the RBC feel are urban legends that offer our chosen profession a bad rap. Anyone?</p>

<p>~~~~ This isn't directly related to the recent controversy about LI's latest "enhancement" to LIR and how the group messaging function has changed related to InMail.~~~~</p>
<p>I don't have LIR and don't use InMail, but I do periodically send individual (one at a time) messages to LI group members that are not 1st level connections of mine. I've been noticing recently (possibly since around the same time as the above change was implemented) that I no longer receive an email (normal email) when someone replies to one of my messages sent through LI. </p>
<p>I still get all other types of LI messages through my email though (including connection invitation requests, replies to my notes to new connections when I accept, notification about group discussion comments that I've participated in, etc.). Basically, I still get all of the noise that (IMHO) requires no immediate attention on my part and that I typically delete from regular email and only reply through LI next time I log on to the regular (non-mobile device) site. </p>
<p>However, getting a reply back from a non-connection - fellow group member would be something that I would like to read via email. Now I only find these replies when I log in to deal with all of the other messages that DID show up in my email.</p>
<p>Any ideas? Is this a glitch or perhaps an intentional "inconvenience" to push non-paying users into some form of upgraded account? I'm also wondering if messages I'm sending are only appearing in those users LI inbox and not reaching their email either. </p>
<p>If anyone that I'm not connected to (but in a mutual group) wants to try this out, please feel free to send me a message through that method to see what happens when I reply. </p>

<p>------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
<p>The national survey was conducted online by Harris Interactive(c) from November 6 to December 2, 2013, and included a representative sample of 2,201 hiring managers and human resource professionals across industries and company sizes.</p>
<p>Most Memorable Mistakes</p>
<p>When asked to share the most outrageous mistakes candidates made during a job interview, employers gave the following real-life examples:</p>
<pre> -- Applicant warned the interviewer that she "took too much valium" and didn't think her interview was indicative of her personality </pre>
<pre>-- Applicant acted out a Star Trek role <br/>-- Applicant answered a phone call for an interview with a competitor <br/>-- Applicant arrived in a jogging suit because he was going running after the interview <br/> -- Applicant asked for a hug <br/> -- Applicant attempted to secretly record the interview <br/> -- Applicant brought personal photo albums <br/> -- Applicant called himself his own personal hero <br/>-- Applicant checked Facebook during the interview <br/>-- Applicant crashed her car into the building <br/>-- Applicant popped out his teeth when discussing dental benefits <br/>-- Applicant kept her iPod headphones on during the interview <br/> -- Applicant set fire to the interviewer's newspaper while reading it when the interviewer said "impress me" <br/>-- Applicant said that he questioned his daughter's paternity <br/>-- Applicant wanted to know the name and phone number of the receptionist because he really liked her </pre>

<p>My focus as a recruiter is to help match opportunities (and all related requirements) to the very best candidates. Sometimes it is easier said then done. So what about the candidate that you introduce to an opening, get them engaged in the process, and for whatever reason an offer never gets extended. Yet- you as the recruiter take the barrage from an angry candidate. What approaches do you take to address this scenario?</p>
